The "COM" message on the screen of your Panasonic HC-V160 video camera means that there is a communication error between the camera and the lens. This can be caused by a number of things, including:

A loose or damaged cable connecting the camera to the lens.

A problem with the lens itself.

A problem with the camera's internal circuitry.

To troubleshoot the problem, you can try the following:

Check the connections between the camera and the lens. Make sure that all of the cables are properly plugged in and that there are no visible damage.

Try using a different lens. If the problem persists, it is likely that the lens is faulty.

If you are still having problems, you may need to take the camera to a qualified technician for repair.

Here are some additional tips to help prevent communication errors:

Always handle the camera and lens with care.

Avoid dropping or banging the camera.

Keep the camera and lens clean and free of dust and dirt.

Use the correct cables and adapters when connecting the camera to the lens.

By following these tips, you can help to prevent communication errors and keep your camera and lens in good working order.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
